Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. An intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a stage-by-stage simulation of where your smile is headed.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases these days, though a provider will say upfront if brackets are the better fit for yours. They only work if worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, out just for eating and brushing — the trays don't do the work by sitting in a drawer.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for harder movements like rotations. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages include attachments.
Intraoral scanners replace the old goopy impressions for a faster, more accurate starting point.
A stage-by-stage animation shows the expected movement before you agree to start.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, that's typically already accounted for in the plan.
Flexibility comes with responsibility — consistent wear is what keeps the timeline on track.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
A 3D scan generates a preview of your projected results before any trays are ordered.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment across a series of custom trays.
Spacing between teeth closes gradually through calibrated pressure across successive trays.
Mild bite discrepancies can often be corrected with aligners paired with small attachments for grip.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates the space alignment requires.
A custom retainer holds your new alignment in place once the active tray series finishes.
A coordinator answers and asks a few quick questions about your specific case and how urgent it is.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
The specialist examines your case, often with same-visit imaging, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
You leave with the issue addressed and next steps already scheduled if needed.
"Explained every step and the cost before doing anything. First visit that didn't feel rushed."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."
"No upsells, no pressure. Just the treatment I needed at the price I was told upfront."
Mild cases can wrap up in as little as six months; more involved crowding can take a year or more.
Some pressure is normal with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than wire adjustments.
Around twenty-two hours daily is standard, removed only for eating and brushing.
Crowns and fillings don't automatically rule you out; the simulation accounts for them.
Depending on your stage, moving to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options.
Cost is often comparable to braces and depends on case complexity, with a written estimate given upfront.
